And I'll meet you,
there,
under the streetlight.
Just a bulb flickering,
lighting the alley between us.
Under the moon and the stars.
And we'll stay there long,
unaware as the minutes and hours tick by,
Even as the summer warmth fades away with the horizon
And I'll see your face through the darkness,
Eyes fixed upon me.
Like there's a spotlight just on me.
Your icy fingers,
entwined in mine,
will bring me down to earth.
And I'll sigh a breath of release,
because
there,
under that streetlight,
is more a home,
than any I've ever known before.
